30. Big fight
"Bang"
The heavy weapons collided fiercely under the endless force exerted by both sides, and between the sharp blades, wildly beating sparks jumped in the air.
The Apocalypse met its old rival, its hum stronger than ever, and the cacophony of green plague wrapped around the blade wafted through the air, trying to seep into Lothar's body, but the Exterminator was also protecting his master, the bronze key-like blade wrapped in tumbling flames, enveloping Lothar's body in flames and scorching the plagues.
The two warring sides are two of the most powerful in the eastern continent of Azeroth, and within their battle circle, all those who try to approach will be ruthlessly shattered by the energy that goes back and forth, but the Soradin Bridge is wide, and around the two warring leaders, the resolute paladins and the silent death knights repeatedly fight for every inch of land, and on the outskirts, the surging tide of necromancy that has been rolling before, pierced with spears by the infantry who have gone forward, and pushed off the bridge by giant shields.
Everyone roared and fought like a caged beast until the other side was completely down.
The strength of the human soldiers in the courage to defend the country is enough to make people marvel, this is the first time that the undead offensive has been blocked head-on in the true sense, of course, this is also inseparable from the environment of the battlefield, the width of the battlefield can only accommodate 100 people to pass at the same time, in this case, the undead have no way to convert their numerical advantage into the fruits of victory.
The war-torn human emperor Lothar has chosen the perfect battlefield...
"Bang"
The two weapons collided again, this time, the blades did not split, and the two sides used their weapons to try to force each other back as if in the most primitive wrestling, and both Tyrion and Lothar knew very well that in the battle for the bridge, the two of them were like flag bearers of both camps, and the retreat of either would lead to disastrous consequences.
But in the pure confrontation of forces, Lothar is inferior.
After all, he had not been strengthened by dragon blood, and although the Exterminator had awakened the power of the ancestors in the Lothar bloodline, even the former king of the barbarians had never overpowered a dragon head-on.
"Bang"
The ground at Lothar's feet cracked under the pressure of the force, and in the midst of the flying rubble, his other foot stepped back again, slamming into the ground with another sound like a bell.
But he still gritted his teeth, unwilling to retreat like an angry lion, and Tyrion looked directly at the old face before him, and looked at the burning eyes, his cloak fluttering behind his back, and he whispered:
"You're old, Lothar!"
"You're young."
The Human Emperor slammed his sword back at this moment, and under the effect of force, Tyrion's body staggered forward, and then was kicked in the chest by Lothar, and the whole person flew upside down, but he spun in the air and stood firmly on the solid ground.
The dark green magic sword was dragged behind him, Tyrion reached out and touched the dent in his breastplate, his eyebrows raised, looking at the waiting Lothar, the King of the Dark Blades shook his head, turned into a black shadow again, and pounced on the battlefield.
"Bang Bang"
Two two-handed swords slashed wildly in the air, in this kind of battle where a single knife goes straight in, and both sides are powerful, all swordsmanship has become a joke, and the shortest and sharpest slash is the key to victory.
"Tear up"
The scarlet cloak of the King of the Dark Blades was sliced by the sharp blades of the Exterminator, and the armor on Lothar's chest was also opened by the cold blades of a hideous rift, and the two sides were like knights passing by, turning around in front of each other's camps, and after two explosions, they collided again.
Between the two sides fighting each other with long swords and fists, Tyrion suddenly spoke:
"Don't you wonder why I chose to fight you here even though I knew that the Battle of the Bridge was beneficial to you?"
Hearing this, Lothar's sharp attack paused abruptly, and this opportunity was seized by Tyrion, and the dark red death energy rushed up from the ground, trying to trap Lothar in it, but the instinct of a legendary warrior made Lothar leap a step backwards in an instant and dodge this despicable sneak attack.
"Why?"
Lothar held the Slayer in both hands, and in the fiery phantom, he stared at Tyrion, and the King of the Dark Blades seemed to have lost interest in fighting, and he could not take Lothar, who held a legendary weapon and awakened the power of the Barbarian King, for a short time, so he focused his attention on the scorching war that was taking place.
"The advantage you choose will be the entrance to hell that will bury you!"
Tyrion flipped his wrist, the blade of the magic sword pointed at the ground beneath his feet, and a different smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered:
"I hope the stones of the Soladin Bridge are as firm as you."
As the words fell, the blade in the hand of the King of Dark Blades stabbed into the stone bridge at his feet, and Lothar's eyes also fell on the stones under his feet, this solid bridge was between the power of the two top powerhouses, the first layer of stone walls had been peeled off, and the lower stones were also covered with spiderweb-like cracks, which made the Human Emperor suddenly come back to his senses, he knew that he had been tricked.
"Go back! Go back! ”
Lothar yelled at the brave warriors behind him, and across from him, the powerful death energy in Tyrion's body followed the transmission of the magic sword Apocalypse that pierced into the bridge, piercing all the nodes connected by the stones inside the bridge in a destructive way.
"Wow"
The long sword cut the surface of the bridge, and the King of the Dark Blades looked at the Silver Hand Paladins who hurriedly retreated, and his cold voice resounded in the sky at this moment:
"It's late! The undead don't fall to their deaths, but you don't! ”
"Bang"
Steel boots carved with black brambles and white bones stomped under their feet, and the next moment, the bridge was intact like a broken support, and the shattered stones rapidly expanded outward from the very center, and the 750-yard-long bridge became a memory of the past in just 10 seconds, and the paladins and warriors who fell with the stones could only wave their hands helplessly in the air.
Falling with them are the expressionless Death Knight and the undaunted skeleton of the undead... Why should they be afraid? They won't die.
Lothar also fell from the collapse of the bridge, looking up at the sky, and on the pier, Tyrion, who had immobilized his body with death energy, waved at him like a friend saying goodbye.
But at this moment, in Lothar's mind, a huge question also rose.
Tyrion took the initiative to destroy the only connection point between the wetlands and the Arathi Heights, so how could his army reach the human position?
The next moment, this question was answered.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa"
The sudden cold in the wetland sky made the human soldiers on the other side of the strait shiver, and between the drifting storms, a huge amount of dark magic began to condense in the cold storm under the call of the dark warlock group, and a thick ice that ran through the strait seemed to "grow", in the growth of those black ice crystals, in a way that appeared out of thin air, from the end occupied by the undead, towards the direction of the Arathi Heights.
At the same time, the skeletons blocking the edge of the channel slowly retreated, revealing the Death Knights who had been waiting behind them for a long time, the backbone of these Darkblade Legions, under the leadership of their respective lords, had already prepared to charge, and the moment the magic of the Dark Warlocks turned on, the Death Knights rushed onto the huge ice bridge that continued to stretch.
From a distance, it even looked like those black knights were leading the ice bridge forward, they didn't seem to be afraid to step into the air and fall into the cliff below, they seemed to trust their comrades extremely much, and in the incredulous gaze of the human soldiers, the death knights surging like a rolling black tide made them tremble.
The worst thing is that they can't fight back ... The howling storm made most of the bows and arrows unusable, and the muskets didn't have that far range, so they could only watch as the necrons broke through the width of the battlefield on the huge bridge of ice, and rolled forward with the entire army of Darkblades that had been released.
Such a crazy tactic can only be used by the unafraid necromancer, right?
"Soldiers! Array! Defensive formations! ”
"Mages, ruin it!"
The roar of the great knight Uther resounded in the human army array, in fact, there was no need for the paladin to remind, the moment the wide ice block appeared, Dalaran's mage group had already begun to counteract magic, but the number of dark warlocks was even more, and there were also some weird fallen crowmen, which were the dark warlock group that Tyrion had single-handedly gathered, and the number of spellcasters far exceeded that of Dalaran and Quel'Salas.
Although the quality... Fair.
"Wow"
Amid the mage's chanting, remarkable rain of flames and terrifying meteorite meteorites rained down from the sky to completely destroy the extended ice bridge, but before those offensive spells smashed on the ice bridge, they were blocked by a thick curtain of light, and only then did the Great Lich and his lich group hidden among the undead really show their figures.
Khadgar's white hair fluttered in the cold wind, he stood by the strait with his black Guardian's Staff, behind him, the lich Dralandon was maintaining the magical barrier above the ice bridge, Khadgar calmly looked at the mages on the other side of the strait who were protected by the soldiers, he looked at their familiar violet robes, he felt the fear in the hearts of those mages.
"My former companions..."
Khadgar raised his staff, and the shadow power in the orc's skull held in his other hand began to be extracted, and at the moment when the magic of the shadow mania grew more and more insane, the archlich whispered:
"Let me teach you a lesson... Never, don't expose your magic lines to the Lich, for I... You can see it! ”
As the words fell, with the swing of the Guardian's Staff, a dark scythe-like curtain of light slanted upward, skimming the empty sky, the blow seemed to be empty, however, the moment the Great Lich accurately cut off all the magic nodes gathered by the mages in the sky, the mana that was raging and out of control poured back into the bodies of the terrified mages.
"Boom"
After an earth-shattering bang, the mage positions on the front line of humanity... Ruined.
"Alas"
Looking at the human mages buried in the magic explosion, the Great Lich sighed helplessly, his silver eyes full of disappointment:
"These disciples of Antonidas are just a bunch of children who are only obsessed with the power of magic, when will they really understand that the true meaning of magic is control, not simple destruction... It's a pity. ”
And with the destruction of the mage's position, no one could stop the death knights' decisive charge, and at the moment when the heavy ice bridge extended to the other side of the strait, the death knights, who had already accumulated enough kinetic energy in the charge, faced the giant shield spears erected by the human position, they crashed into it without fear, which would make the living cavalry feel fearful defense, meaningless in the eyes of the dead.
The scene that happened on the battlefield of Red Ridge Mountain was repeated again in the Arathi Heights, and the bodies of the Death Knights turned pale, as if they had escaped into the ghost plane, and ordinary physical attacks could no longer hurt them, and then blocked them, although the duration was only a few seconds, but it was enough.
"Boom"
The ghostly Death Knight easily passed through the first human barrier, and after being swept through by the heavy death energy, the soldiers were covered in frost, and to make matters worse, the unprepared soldiers in the second row were knocked over in an instant.
The positions on the other side of the strait were in chaos in an instant, and the moment Lothar, who had returned to the rear of the position on the griffin, stepped in to take command, the shriekers hidden above the clouds were also given orders.
The crazy hiss sounded at this moment, and the soldiers subconsciously raised their heads, and saw a beautiful, blue-winged, crowned female crow man descending from the sky, and behind her, there were dense screamers who showed their bodies from the clouds, and on the claws of each crow, there was a black spike bomb hanging, and the direction they threw was in the center of the military formation where humans and necromancy were fighting.
Without any regard for the safety of his companions, in this cold battle order, the human position ushered in another round of explosions falling from the sky, as for the griffin knights of the brute hammer dwarves... Don't make a fuss, their numbers and the crows that come out of the nest are not comparable at all.
"The first battle, won!"
Tyrion rode on his war horse and stepped on the sturdy ice bridge with the second group of death knights, his ice blue eyes were a little regretful, because under the leadership of Lothar, the human soldiers in the rear were deploying a defensive formation in a very orderly manner, and the second layer of defense was full of strong watchtowers and steam tanks, and the human soldiers had completely turned this grassland fortress into a fortress in the past month or so, that is, they still occupied the advantage of the terrain.
Although the front line of the war in the strait was seized, to be honest, it is really difficult for a small victory at the beginning to affect the big war that will be in full swing in the future.
"Danas... Next, it's up to you. ”
